Inclusion Ecosystem Day | Invite only

Many everyday products, including safety features such as seatbelts, are not designed inclusively. Unfortunately, that means that product development often overlooks critical factors such as age, gender, care needs, economic status and ethnic background, which leads to inequality. During our Inclusion Ecosystem Day, we invite product innovation managers to join us to become aware of design bias, explore innovations and tools that create both positive impact and commercially successful products. Do you want to participate?
